Tzatziki

Another great dish we had in both Turkey and Greece on our annual sailing holiday, not to mention in Scotland.. It's best to use the "European / English Cucumber" as they call it in the USA. That's the long skinny one we always had fridge. You can certainly use the US cucumber (they tend to be a lot cheaper!) but remember to first scoop out the seeds before salting.
